almost,nearly,practically,virtually

The difference between the right
word and the almost right word
is the difference between
lightning and a lightning bug.
la differenza tra la parola
giusta e la parola quasi giusta e'
la differenza tra il fulmine
e il parafulmine. Mark Twain

The proper office of a friend is to
side with you when you are wrong.
Nearly anybody will side with you
when you are right.
il giusto compito di un amico e
schierarsi al tuo fianco quando hai torto.
quasi tutti si schiereranno con
te quando hai ragione. Mark Twain

fairly,pretty,quite,somewhat,rather

I lost my parents when I was fairly young.
persi i miei genitori quando
ero abbastanza giovane.
Craig T. Nelson
